It's just a surge protector, so sure it is going to help with surges. An EMP is really just a voltage spike of sorts and not by definition a nuclear event which is what most people think of so that's why they get away with that angle in my opinion. This probably a good place for that foil hat giphy?
But wouldn't that surge be coming from both sides of the protector? Wouldn't that mean everything on one side is already fried?It's just a surge protector, so sure it is going to help with surges.

It works just like a surge protector, when you have voltage spikes on your household line a surge protector does it's thing. A local lightning strike creates an EMP and a surge protector generally helps with that sort of thing. I didn't mean to suggest it would work with a nuclear event.But wouldn't that surge be coming from both sides of the protector? Wouldn't that mean everything on one side is already fried?
That's one hell of an expensive surge protector
How could I ever forget Monster CableMust be made by Monster cable then.
They way they work is quite ingenious. They scare you into giving them your money in return for $5 worth of electronics that in most cases will do nothing.
Real hemp shielding components are not cheap, you will need wave guides and complex series and parallel mov’s to protect you from an emp event.Must be made by Monster cable then.

This, I understand. All my very precise, very accurate CNC grinders really hate brown outs. The drives are sensitive, the spindles are sensitive, servos freak out, etc. Bad news, man.Anyone who works 3 phase hates brown outs, where you lose one phase, can wrench havoc on any sensitive equ.
Watched an operator turn on a Mazak after a brown out, did a reset but she never checked the programmed and it buried the 55 hp spindle into a 4” thick block of aluminum. The building shook when the spindle stalled and the servo couldn’t push any more into the stock. About 100 k to replace spindle, motor, servo and tooling along with 2 days of downtime.This, I understand. All my very precise, very accurate CNC grinders really hate brown outs.

We had a guy crash a trunnion in our 5 axis Haas. Before my time, so I don't know the whole story, but we bought another trunnion, because the turn around time was so much quicker, plus we had the crashed one repaired (not sure why...

Cost, rebuild maybe half new, funny thing is that precision bearings need constant turning so the bearings don’t take a set and cause vibration so just having them on the shelf is never just sitting on the shelfWe had a guy crash a trunnion in our 5 axis Haas.

Yeah, cost, but like you said...its sitting around. No one is cycling it. Its just sitting in a crate. So, when we DO need it, its already NFG. It was probably sitting for two years before I came on board. I don't know just how precise the bearings in the trunnion are...I know we have some grinder spindles that we need to exercise every week or so, because they are set to microns of runout.

I pulled up YouTube and an EMP ad ran. Still think it’s worthless after watching the ad.Just logged onto facebook and there was a big ad for an EMP Shield, I really enjoy the internet. Honestly I'd rather it be this shit than total T, "she'll like it too." By the way there is probably good info here.
